Directions to Enable Compatibility Mode for Internet Explorer (IE8 and IE9) Directions to Enable Compatibility Mode for Internet Explorer (IE8 and IE9) The following information was taken from the Microsoft support website: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/956197#2 Method 1: Enable Compatibility View for specific websites in Internet Explorer To enable Compatibility View for specific websites that are not displayed correctly or that are not working correctly, follow these steps: 1. Open the website that is not displayed correctly or that does not work correctly in Internet Explorer 8 or in Internet Explorer 9. 2. Click the Compatibility View button that is located directly to the right side of the address bar next to the Refresh button. Or, on the Tools menu, click to select the option Compatibility View. If the Tools menu is not displayed, press ALT to display the Tools menu. Note o If the Compatibility View button does not appear on the right side of the address bar, or if the command is not available under the Tools menu, you cannot use this method. You may be experiencing a different problem, or the network administrator may have used a Group Policy setting to configure the Compatibility View settings on your computer. If you are using a home computer, see the "Similar problems and solutions and support information" section for alternative steps. If you are using a computer in an enterprise environment, contact your administrator or the help desk. 3. If this method worked, you may have to repeat this method for each website that experiences these problems. Note When you use this method to fix a website, Internet Explorer saves your Compatibility View setting for that website. Every time that you visit that site, Compatibility View will be used. To stop a website from running in Compatibility View, follow these steps: 1. Click Tools, and then click to select option Compatibility View. 2. You can also add or remove specific websites from Compatibility View without actually visiting each website. Method 2: Enable Compatibility View for all websites in Internet Explorer You have tried Method 1 on some of these websites, and that method worked. However, you may want to enable Compatibility View for all websites. To do this, follow these steps: 1. Start Internet Explorer 8 or Internet Explorer 9. 2. On the Tools menu, click Compatibility View Settings. If the Tools menu is not displayed, press ALT to display the Tools menu. If Compatibility View Settings is not available, the network administrator may have used a Group Policy setting to configure the options for you. Contact your administrator or the help desk. 3. Click to select the Display all websites in Compatibility View check box, and then click Close. 4. Visit several websites that were not displayed correctly or that were not working to see whether the problem is now resolved. .

  • Böngésző Programok 23. Tétel
    23.tétel 1.0 Böngész ő programok használata, összehasonlítása. Az információ keresés technikái. Bogdán;Sleisz Böngész ő programok (Használata, összehasonlítása. Az információ keresés technikái) 23. tétel Az Internet kialakulása 20. század második felére helyezhet ő. Az ARPA rendszerb ől fejl ődött tovább az USA-ban, azóta folyamatosan fejlesztgetik a különböz ő protokollokat, illetve technológiákat, az adatforgalom sebességének növelése érdekében. Komoly tévhitet képez a világban, hogy az Internet az a böngész őben megjeleníthet ő weboldalak összessége. Nagy tévedés, ugyanis ez csak a HTTP protokoll által szolgáltatott tartalom, amely a teljes internetes adatforgalomnak kevesebb, mint az 1/10-ét képezi. Az internetet úgy kell elképzelni, mint egy hardvereszközt, ami az egész világot lefedi, a rajta elérhet ő szolgáltatásokat pedig nevezzük "szoftvereknek". Kétségkívül az egyik legelterjedtebb szolgáltatás ("szoftver") a 80-as port -on kommunikáló HTTP protokoll, amihez tartozik egy kommunikációs nyelv is. A HTTP protokoll célja hagyományos esetben- a távoli "szerveren/kiszolgálón" elhelyezked ő weboldal letöltése a helyi számítógépre. 1. A böngész ő a HTTP kommunikációs nyelven megfogalmazott kérést küld a szerver felé, hogy szeretnénk megjeleníteni a kért weboldalt 2. A szerver válaszol. Többféle üzenetet küldhet vissza a böngész őnek, és minden üzenethez tartozik egy azonosító szám is, úgynevezett Status Code. A legismertebb visszatérési érték talán a Not Found (a keresett weboldal nem található), melynek Status Code-ja a 404. Ilyet könnyedén el őidézhetünk, ha pl. nem létez ő oldalt próbálunk letölteni. A leggyakoribb azonban, ha a 200-as üzenetet kapjuk vissza, vagyis megjelenik az oldal. 3. Ezek után a böngész ő elkezdi letölteni a kért oldal forráskódját . A forráskód egy olyan leíró kód nagyrészt HTML nyelven, amely leírja, hogyan néz ki a weboldal.
